Neon Knights Lyrics
Dio underrated, Ozzy overrated. This is Sab's #2 song after only Paranoid.
Ronnie James Dio and Black Sabbath...a dream come true!! A truly amazing and powerful song.
RJD was an amazing singer. May he R.I.P.
this song matches perfectly to neon genesis evangelion
this is an awesome song and all 3 lead singers were good but yes ozzy was the best then dio and ian gillian
@HeavyMetalRocker What about Tony Martin?!

I Like Dio better then Ozzy to tell the Truth. To me Ozzy is just a sell now. After what happned at Ozzfest 2005 just proves that his wife runs his carrer.
Metallic Dude check out holy diver and read this comment by this guy on the second page I think it's funny.
@LordOfLight Ozzy's voice is Black Sabbath. Dio is the same. Two of the best voices in Rock and Roll, Metal, whatever.

@LordOfLight To be fair, Sharon has officially been Ozzy's manager for years.

I wonder if Robert Jordan was inspired by this song? The song's description of time and its references of a dragon, a weave and the Shadow reminds me of the Wheel of Time books.

the comment about Dio's songs meaning nothing is ABSURD -
this song is the punch to Heaven & Hell - Dio's whole message and especially in this song is that we are neither and we are both - we are evil and we are divine - we are heaven and we are hell - it's a circle - a ring - it's INFINITE - it is the question of the egg and the chicken... nothings in the past - it comes again and again and again...
every stanza in the song suggest both entities:
legions of the brave - jackals of the streets protectors of the realm - acroos the sea of lights (river styx to hell) blessed by the night - toll of the bell bloodied angels fast descending - all in one line - maybe the greatest lyric ever written
this is about the infinite question - and Dio is replying that we are both -
Dio was a million times more creative than Ozzy could have dreamed of being - the Heaven & Hell tour was a work of GENUIS - what Dio did was come in with just part of Heaven & Hell inbetween every couple of songs - and he would remind us that it "goes on and on and on and on and on... " every couple of songs he would do a single line or stanza of Heaven & Hell and then "it goes on and on" - until finally they closed with the entire song - sheer GENUIS - Dio is without doubt one of thee greatest metal writers of all time -
@southy Sorry wrong on all accounts Its ok it was a good attempt but not deep enough. Your correct heaven and hell is about pour dual nature but the song is telling the listener that you need start using the other side of your personality I will debate you all day on this one

Okay I got to step in and tell you all the meaning of the song now that RJD is no longer with us, here it is. we humans fight the same war over and over. this time the humans almost reached perfection. Love but good things never last so we are at it again the world has been corrupted my the dragons and kings Dragons being off planet and Kings being world government. these entities have placed propaganda and media manipulation on the population. circles and rings are symbols made to manipulate the humans to just be shadows inslaved. so , the world out of control a bell is rung and angels from the heavens come down to save them the angels in the same battle above hence the bloodied angles. the phantom figures are the human no longer under mind control are free to shine ever bright ./ the Angles are depicted on the cover since they are human and hevenly. the last verse he a cheer for the Neon Knights. feel free to comment but I am right on this one
@gearbear10 entranced by the song, not having full understanding of the exact meaning implied by RJD, i have searched for interviews, information on it. So here, or anywhere, i find -only- your interpretation seems worthy, or reflecting anything that i believe could be the profound meaning of this, by this writer. At the risk of sounding rude-not my intent-at all- I would really like to know how you are so sure of your interpretation?

@gearbear10 ........let's just say the entire album is a theme of the phoenicians that control our realm. Children of the sea is Phoenician to the max. I find it unreasonable that these songs were not written by these very Phoenicians. " We sailed across the air before we learned to fly"...phoenician air ships.... The list goes on throughout the album.
